Sports such as cold-water swimming and surfing are growing in popularity but, it’s fair to say, the coastlines of Britain are a far cry from that popular image of sunny beaches in other, warmer areas of the planet! As a result, the cold is a constant battle in the UK for those wishing to indulge in these sports, especially when needing to get changed in to warm clothing immediately after a dip. Awkward shuffling about with towels in open and windy areas is not a fun experience, not to mention trying to retain your modesty while getting changed in public…
The Voited DryCoat 3.0 is a great solution for all of the above problems. Firstly, it’s water repellent and windproof on the outside, giving you instant protection on those windy days – the chief reason for ending up cold when clambering out of the sea and getting changed out of your swimwear. Secondly, the inside is lined with a microfibre fleece that is quick-dry and absorbent, giving you some much-needed warmth fresh out of the water that dries up nice and quick. Thirdly, it’s very roomy inside! Especially designed to facilitate getting changed, the sleeves are voluminous and the design allows plenty of wriggle room without ever needing to remove it so you can get changed out of your wet things and in to nice comfy dry clothes without worrying about exposure and staying warm at the same time. And just to top things off (literally!), there’s also an adjustable, insulated hood to help keep you head warm and out of the wind too.
The DryCoat is also perfectly passable as a regular coat with zip-up pockets and an easy, casual throw-on style so whether you’re dog walking or just enjoying a stroll on a windy day, this coat should do you good. RRP £150
